Verse 1

Em His family taught him right from wrong Em With local tales and children's songs Am Sunday school was his shelter D With his friends Joe and Walter Em Now those days seem far away Em An empty swing where he once played Am Now Bill's grown so fat and bald D He never thought that he'd grow old

Chorus

G C D And everyday when he gets the train G C D Looks out the window and thinks in vain C D Em If I could only be that boy again

Verse 2

Em His sales job it gets him down Em Same old faces same old sounds Am Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs D Documents in labelled racks Em His wife can't stand the sight of him Em With his routine glass of gin Am She makes his lunch of processed ham D And waits in for the meter man

Chorus

G C D And everyday when he gets the train G C D Looks out the window and thinks in vain C D Em If I could only be that boy again

Verse 3

Em Another day another gin Em His kids don't even notice him Am Something different about his face D His happy smile seems out of place Em His family gathered round for tea Em Eyes fixed on their new telly Am Newsflash came, then it said D Bill McCai was just found dead

Outro

G C D No more windows, no more trains G C D Hung himself out in the rain C D Em Now he'll never be that boy again N.C. And we say Am C D Em bye-bye Bill McCai Am C D Em bye-bye Bill McCai Am C D Em bye-bye Bill McCai
